Wests Rugby Union Club Toowong is proud to announce that Pat Byron has been re-appointed as Premier Head coach for the 2016 and 2017 seasons. Pat brings a wealth of experience to the club and has been our Premier Coach for the past three years.

Pat has an extensive rugby coaching background with time in Japan as assistant coach for Suntory as well as previous stints at Wests as a Colts Coach.

Pat has some ambitious goals for 2016 and would love to see the club make the top four and be rewarded for the culture of hard, on-field work that the players have created.

Three Doggies were picked for representative National Rugby Competition duties this year and Pat hopes to see this increase in 2016.

Director of Premier Rugby, Tim Geary says he is very happy to have Pat back on-board and wishes him all the best for the upcoming season. Tim would also like to acknowledge the strong recruitment efforts made pre-season by Pat and the rest of the coaching team.

The club wishes Pat all the best for 2016. Returning and new players are reminded that pre-season starts this Monday night at 6pm with training nights being Monday and Wednesday with Thursday night gym sessions at BBC.
